99 v6 3.2 Isuzu Rodeo. can't believe I forgot that.
I use maybe a qt every 3000. Not as much as many that have this engine on this vehicle.
The code that was pulled lead me to the cat, but in some cases it was the rear O2 sensor. In stead of just throwing parts at it one at a time, I found a sweet deal on ebay and replaced it all.
Good call about the plugs, I will pull a few and look at them. They are fairly new ( a little over a year old with 11,000 miles on them) hopefully they still look good.
I'm thinking what happened to this side of the exhaust system took place over many years and miles. I'm nervous, because I dont want to have to do this again in a few years.
Since this side of the exhaust was noticeably more nasty and the one that threw the codes, does this mean the majority of the oil is being burned on that bank of cylinders?
thanks,
marc
